Cold Wind on the Block cover art

Versuri

[Verse 1]
Cold wind
Chapped lips, cracked screen
Bus stop bench, whole clique
Turned fiend

Mama said pray
I just paced in the kitchen
Counting change, half tank
Full of tunnel vision

Northside nights
Banged on them metal gates
Sirens like lullabies
Rocking us wide awake

Skipped class
Learned math in the alleyway
How to flip, double back
Pray you see another day

[Chorus]
Came from the gray, from the rust, from the block
Heart like steel, I don’t bend, I don’t stop (nah)
Every scar that I carry, that’s my watch
Telling me time’s now
Time’s now
Cold world, but I’m hot on the clock

Came from the gray, from the rust, from the block
Talk is cheap, all that noise getting chopped
Every loss that I took made me lock
Back in, head down
Head down
Till my name sit heavy on the top (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Whole hood packed
In a one-room wake
Black suit, white lies
Same small plate

Judge gave bro
More years than he lived yet
We just stared
Like the sky when the sun set

Now I rap for the ones
That ain’t coming back
Tat names on arms
Ink darker than the past

Midwest kid
But my pain global scale
If you came from the cold
You can feel every detail

[Chorus]
Came from the gray, from the rust, from the block
Heart like steel, I don’t bend, I don’t stop (never)
Every scar that I carry, that’s my watch
Telling me time’s now
Time’s now
Cold world, but I’m hot on the clock

Came from the gray, from the rust, from the block
Talk is cheap, all that noise getting chopped
Every loss that I took made me lock
Back in, head down
Head down
Till my name sit heavy on the top (on the top)
